That's it - I made a noble sacrifice by purchasing those books, damn it! [Can you tell Cheza and I have been talking about "reframing" a lot of late? I'm not certain this sort of thing is exactly what she had in mind, though...]
I've slept some, but am still kind of tired - trying to walk that line between over-caffeinated and sleeping through Whale Rider tonight. Interestingly the web page calls tonights screening the "Special Gala presentation" - so I'm going to take that as an excuse to wear something nice. The dress I got from the Endless Knot sale this year, I think.
Speaking of which, I should go get ready and then head up to stand in line. I need one of those light-weight folding artist's stools - the collapse-and-stick-in-a-backpack kind - for this sort of occasion...
